Are you working for part of the growing sub-contract and contracting manufacturing sector? According to research by the organisers of Subcon 2012, taking place at the NEC in June, many companies are ‘looking to take a strategic approach to long-term outsourcing of their production.’ Companies surveyed still look to subcontractors and OEMs (original equipment
manufacturers) for the usual reason of extra capacity but increasingly they also outsource activities so they can focus on their own core competencies. In the article on the Midland Business News website, results also show that ‘41% used subcontractors to gain access to processes they didn't want in-house and a third were using subcontractors rather than investing in non-core capital equipment.’ Organisers of the exhibition also say that the newer industries are also exhibiting this year such as composite suppliers, 3D modelling and design services and electronics companies.
